This brick school was built on land purchased from a Mr. Acheson, William Imeson (Lot 20 Con. 10) and R.A. Wilson.  The Merry Makers, a local club, raised money for playground equipment and the installation of electricity.  Pearl Richardson was the first teacher in 1914, and Norma Devlin was the last in 1967.
